Delectable dim sum, floating islands, and a one-of-a-kind skyline are just some of Hong Kong’s unique features. Get an eyeful of traditional Chinese architecture in Ngong Ping village, then take the tram to the tippity-top of Victoria Peak for unparalleled views. The rocks and gentle hills of Nan Lian Garden will bring you inner peace, as will a calming cup of tea in a Stanley café. Become one with everything at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a serene Buddhist complex.

...in this weird spot. It’s like the cartoon robot WALL-E went to Glastonbury and started making stuff when he got home before coming down. What’s on offer seems to change occasionally so it’s always worth coming back when visiting Peng Chau. I think it’s great!

Peng Chau Island is a very easy day-trip from Central Pier #6. Ferries go daily and go direct to the island, a quick 30min trip. On the fast ferry, we could sit outside on the top deck which was a nice way to travel. HIKING – It’s a tiny island so none of the hiking trails are terribly strenuous. The Peng Yu Path is an easy and very scenic, looped trail around the beaches and coastline, past the Lung Mo temple and Old Fisherman’s Rock. The longer 7km Family Trail hike will take you around the whole island and a steep trail leads to Finger Hill which is the highest point on the island. FOOD – The few restaurants are clustered around the village and ferry. Don’t expect the same range of seafood restaurants that you get at Lamma or Cheung Chau islands. There are still a few nice places Hoi King Seafood or Kee Sum Café but beware of island timing. Don't do what we did and leave it too late for lunch. In hindsight, we should have timed our hike to be back at the main village earlier. We arrived back around 3pm by which time, everything was shut or shutting. DON’T MISS - A quirky highlight of our trip was visiting the old leather factory. I have written a separate review on it but it is a must-see. The converted factory is now a wonderfully whacky outdoor gallery with free-form sculpture, gardens, a fish and tortoise pond, recycled ‘junk’ installations and artwork. It’s amazing and an absolute must if you have kids with you. Entry is free but you can contribute via donation boxes.
